Food Zheng – Reflection 8

These readings made me realize the infinite aspects in which women are being oppressed by the same man, even when they already have their rights. Which is curious, since if they were given equal rights, and their rights completely, why are there still these different thoughts and stereotypes on what an ideal woman should be? It is These readings made me realize the infinite aspects in which women are being oppressed by the same man, even when they already have their rights. Which is curious, since if they were given equal rights, and their rights completely, why are there still these different thoughts and stereotypes on what an ideal woman should be? It is very sad to know that women went through all these movements, episodes, and all injustices to continue being treated as servants by men. At first, I was very sensitive to what Koedt’s article was about, as I didn’t see much of a relationship between women’s rights and having an orgasm. But then, after reading the article, I realized that even in intercourse, women are oppressed and even, for not reaching an orgasm properly, they are already categorized as “frigidity”. It makes me very sad to know that this article may have helped many men in being able to please women, but what about those whose sexual partners did not know anything about this information? They just had intercourse without caring if the woman experienced pleasure or not?. It’s sad, knowing that even in things as personal as sexual relations, women still have a disadvantage (created by men).
